If you’re into racing sims, you gotta have a wheel. A good one. Not a crap one.

Eh, you don’t have to buy everything up front. Like honestly the most raced series is the skip barber series and thats like a D class one. The tracks would be the most expensive part for you, honestly, and I usually just asked for money for iRacing for christmas from family. 

I am willing to go to Buffalo Wild Wings EVERY WEEKEND if they show the entire next season on ESPN. Just Saying.

Ugh, that’s a hard decision. I’d honestly say Assetto Corsa is the best out of all of the ones available, but it has some small physics issues that bother me more than the others. Project Cars 2 is going to provide you the most customization options, particularly FOV and such (i believe. I’m not sure how they are on…

I’m actually going to have to break this down. Wow.

Not exactly, though this can vary. For instance, iRacing has a monthly subscription that goes towards general quality of life improvements (eg: We get more a larger variety of disciplines) and then they charge per car and track.

Everyone thinks “That’s insane”. I did too. I was actively against the practice back in…

Can you actually provide a counter argument that is actually on the topic of the line you quoted?

I also want to point that other titles, particularly ones that do not use microtransactions, typically are further from their real life counterparts. There are plenty of memes out there about the iRacing tire models, so I’m sure someone would gladly like to throw my entire argument out the window since I’d be…

Sim Racing, even games like Forza and Gran Turismo, are niche titles within a niche. Unlike Mario Kart, they’re designed for the people who ACTUALLY like cars. They do not sell enough copies to be able to fund what they’re doing. The other issue is that, unlike most other titles, they need to be constantly patched and…

Oh I don’t doubt it.

Oh no. I don’t disagree with most of what he had to say. It’s just by doing that, by jokingly mocking the name of the website with an ignorant sounding misspelling, even if I knew there were parts he was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about, I wanted to ignore him.

Oh how precious. You’re like a 90 year old woman who calls every console a “Nintendo” and is completely out of touch with reality because they mostly stay in their little bubble in a small town of less than 1000 people.

This is the only good argument I’ve seen for pCars. Thank you for that.

what is that from o.o

Pretty simple. It’s much more likely for someone to get into racing simulation than it is for people to get into real life racing. Part of the fun I see from eSports is that, technically, anyone could get into it. It’s not a super expensive thing to get into, technically you could just practice and get good enough to…

Honestly, I’m not going to insult your choice. It’s certainly better than Forza or Gran Turismo, but... Idk, I prefer Assetto Corsa to PCars and even then I find AC is very limited compared to iRacing or rFactor 2. rFactor 2 is showing it’s age in physics as well. iRacing suffers from issues of either models still not…

Wil is awesome what are you talking about? He once read the entire sporting code while smoking a pipe, iirc. A bit excitable, yes, but he’s honestly one of the reasons I DO watch it:

Here’s a question:

Why ISN’T sim racing more actively watched? It’s actually pretty damn entertaining and given the actual “sport” aspect that’s still involved vs other game/simulation titles, it’s way way more interesting.

Thought i was watching iRacing for a second.

Meanwhile not a word was said about simulations.
